First review, courtesy of rippingtracks.com

artist: Deadenstereo
from Edinburgh United Kingdom
track: The Ideas We Have Of God
Genre: Rock




Definite flavours of Radiohead in this track from Edinburgh-based Deadenstereo, but they have a twist all of their own. It's got a raw sound that gives them a freshness. The song muses on the fact that we are alone as a race: there is no supreme deity about to whisk us off to fairy land at the end of this life. Soaring melodic vocals buried behind dirty and downright aggressive up front guitars, drumming that's wild and loose without ever losing the plot, Deadenstereo have a sound that's assuredly contemporary and very much of the here and now. A&R guys from cool underground indie labels should surely be sniffing around these fellows in the hope of bringing us 'the next big thing'. There's certainly an afterlife for these fellows whatever they might think.
